Inside Agentifying the Mainframe: How BMC Is Turning Expertise into Action
from The Ravit Show Hosted by Ravit Jain
Ever inherited a REXX script and nobody who wrote it is still around? That was one of the examples Matt Whitbourne, VP of Product Management & Design - IZOT at BMC on The Ravit Show, walked me through in New York while we got into the tech behind "Agentifying the Mainframe." A few of the workflows coming in BMC AMI Agentics for Ops and Data: 1. An agent that investigates CPU spikes 2. Plain-language explanations of existing REXX automation 3. Probable-cause insights for Db2 issues 4. An AI Reorg Advisor that explains its Db2 reorg recommendations 5. A SQL Workload Advisor that suggests tuning actions The pattern behind all of them is simple. Detect the issue, pull together the evidence, explain what matters, and recommend a next step that stays within governed limits. Matt also explained why bolting a general-purpose AI onto ops or database data falls short. The agent needs specialized knowledge, live operational context, and the shared BMC AMI Platform underneath it handling orchestration and governance. If you work hands-on with mainframe ops or Db2, this one is for you. Full interview below. #mainframe #agenticai #db2 #bmc #aiops #aiagents #devops #theravitshow
